Chapter 338: The Chamber of Secrets (5)

The new room is the bedroom.

In terms of room layout, the door-living-hallway-bedroom route is the only passage, which doesn't make sense, but as a game, no one finds it strange.

After Cao Yunfan entered the room, his attention was attracted by the double bed in the room.

On either side of the double bed are thigh-height stools, which appear to have been washed into bedside tables, but there are no bedside lamps on them. There is a dummy on the bed. The dummy was lying flat, wearing a woman's skirt with an incompatible tie around her neck.

Without thinking too much, Cao Yunfan knew that this "woman" was strangled to death by a "man".

Considering the corpse of the dummy in the living room and the story script of this secret room game, the title Mrs. Takeda popped up in Cao Yunfan's mind.

Yi Xin pulled Cao Yunfan's sleeve and looked around. She wasn't as scared as she used to be, but she didn't dare get too close.

Xue Xiaolian had already approached the dummy, observed it carefully, and rummaged through the dummy's pocket.

In the pockets of the dummies, there is nothing, and there are no markings on the clothes.

However, on the bedside table on the side, Xue Xiaolian found the upside-down photo frame.

There is a crack in the glass on the front of the frame, and the photograph inside is a real person, and the woman in it is wearing the same dress as the dummy.

"Looks like Takeda's wife." Xue Xiaolian showed the photo to others, and habitually dismantled the frame and checked the back of the photo.

There is really writing on the back of this photo, but only the date and place are written. It has been seven years since the "present".

"Their husband and wife should have had a good relationship before." Xue Xiaolian put the photo back.

Seeing this, Cao Yunfan did not step forward, but looked at the other furniture in the bedroom.

The only door in the bedroom was the one that led to the hallway. There are no windows in the bedroom, it is a completely enclosed room.

This pattern is very abnormal.

Cao Yunfan didn't think about it, but vaguely felt that the scale of this secret room game should not be so small, two rooms and a corridor, which did not match the faΓ§ade they saw when they entered the door.

Cao Yunfan quickly thought of a possibility.

It may be that those high-tech means are used, and if you spend too much on that, the area of the house that this store can rent is smaller, and the scene layout that can be done is also less. Think about the projection effects, and the actors, plus the bloody photos and special effects in the hallway, it's all money.

Cao Yunfan was a little disappointed, and then exonerated himself and reinvested himself in the game.

He set his sights on the big closet.

The closet door opened, revealing a dazzling array of men's and women's clothing.

When Cao Yunfan opened the cabinet door, he was still vigilant, and after opening it, he saw the contents clearly, and he was relieved.

He patiently inspected the clothes.

Yi Xin followed him all the time, so he also helped check the clothes.

Every piece of clothing, every pocket, was turned over, but the two of them gained nothing.

Xue Xiaolian on the other side searched for the small TV cabinet in the room.

Compared to the TV and TV cabinet in the living room, the TV and TV cabinet here are smaller.

The power is plugged in, and the remote control is there, but when you turn on the TV, you can only see a blue screen. The TV cabinet was empty, and you could see the bottom at a glance, and there was nothing like a disc.

"Will it jump out on its own?" Cao Yunfan gave up the wardrobe.

"I don't know." Xue Xiaolian fiddled with the remote control, and after switching modes a few times, the blue screen suddenly turned into a color picture.

The scene in the frame is the bedroom where they are, accompanied by messy quarrels and footsteps, and several figures appear in the shot.

The woman's skirt flashed.

Immediately, the woman was pushed down on the bed.

Someone untied the tie and strangled the woman's neck.

The woman didn't struggle long before she stopped all movement.

The man who killed the man and his companion fell silent, and after a while, they became panicked and began to fight among themselves.

They quickly disappeared from the camera, and only the sound of quarrels kept coming.

The woman on the bed suddenly moved.

As if pulled by an invisible rope, she sat up straight, her head twisting stiffly, looking at the camera with a weird smile.

The picture flickered, and I saw several more figures next to the bed, but I couldn't see their appearance, I could only see that the color of their bodies was incompatible with the overall tone of the video.

The screen flickered again, and it turned black.

Yi Xin was so frightened that he hugged Cao Yunfan.

Cao Yunfan was also frightened enough by the last scene. Even if he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect that there would be so many ghosts in the video. And Mrs. Takeda, who had just been killed, seemed to have become a ghost immediately after death, and she fell directly into evil.

Xue Xiaolian didn't bother with the content of the video, just turned her head and looked for the location of the surveillance.

It's not hard to find.

Looking at the video footage, it is easy to confirm that the security camera is installed near the door.

It's just that Xue Xiaolian glanced at the wall over there and didn't find any holes.

Without thinking, she opened the door.

Li Yun didn't have time to stop it, and when he saw the door open, his heart lifted.

There was no one outside the door, no ghosts, and the hallway had been restored to its original state, the blood on the walls and the horrible pictures were gone. The hallway is what it looked like when they first opened the door.

Xue Xiaolian was not surprised, directly pressed the door against the wall, opened it to the maximum, and after bowing her head slightly, she confirmed the possible location of the camera.

At that location, Xue Xiaolian did find a camera embedded in the door panel.

Cao Yunfan looked amazed, came back to his senses, and he also began to reason.

"They ended up going in this direction."

When the men got into an argument, they moved in the same direction as the wardrobe.

Cao Yunfan turned his head and looked at the wardrobe, but saw the light summer clothes fluttering in the wardrobe.

The swaying sleeves are like ghosts.

Yi Xin screamed, took a few steps back, and hid behind Cao Yunfan.

Cao Yunfan's heartbeat sped up a little, and slowly calmed down.

"It's fine. I think there's a fan......" he said, taking out all the clothes from his closet.

There is no mechanism on the wall of the wardrobe, but when you take the clothes, you will find that the gap between the planks on the four sides of the wardrobe is a little large.

Cao Yunfan touched the gap and knocked on the planks everywhere, but he had no experience in this area, and he couldn't tell where the secret door was.

Xue Xiaolian walked over, took out the walkie-talkie, and connected with Xiaojun on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Walkie-talkies are still useless.

"He's supposed to be watching us through surveillance, and he can remotely control the mechanism here." Xue Xiaolian said.

"Hmm. After we watched the video just now, he should have found a chance to turn on the fan. However," Cao Yunfan was a little helpless, "Those few people went in this direction, there should be a door here." ”

That picture is definitely a hint.

"Probably not in the closet." Yi Xin reminded.

Cao Yunfan nodded, learned from the film and television dramas, and knocked on the wall next to the wardrobe.

Listen to the voice, the back of this wall is absolutely hollow. The so-called wall is more like the component of a simple board house, and it is by no means a normal reinforced concrete.

"How did you get over...... Cao Yunfan became distressed.

The three of them gathered there to think.

Li Yun looked around, half of his energy was on the ghosts around him, and the other half was on the corridor outside.

The fact that the demons have not dispersed proves that they have not given up.

Unfortunately, the timing was wrong.

Without Cao Yunfan here, Li Yun would definitely listen to and observe the messages revealed by those ghosts.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The wind is blowing from below, right? The fan is underneath this. Xue Xiaolian said suddenly.

"Huh?" Cao Yunfan didn't understand for a while.

Yi Xin raised his eyes, but didn't speak.

"The ceiling in this room is much lower than the living room." Xue Xiaolian continued.

"Really?" Cao Yunfan looked up.

"Because of that corridor, it's not easy to notice. The ceiling in the hallway is much lower. Here too. There should be room for this. Xue Xiaolian pointed to the ceiling, then moved her finger and pointed to the upper wooden board of the wardrobe.

Cao Yunfan had seen that place before, but like Xue Xiaolian, his inspection was only a rough inspection, in his mind, there was a secret door and a secret passage, and it should also be the big wooden board behind this wardrobe.

Cao Yunfan did not question Xue Xiaolian's reasoning, and directly reached out and knocked on the wooden board on the top floor of the wardrobe, not noticing anything unusual.

"Can you just take it off?" Xue Xiaolian said again.

Yi Xin is very careful, but the focus is also a little wrong, "This plank seems to be reversed." ”

As soon as she said this, Cao Yunfan carefully observed the inside of the wardrobe.

Every piece of wood in the wardrobe is rough on the inside, smooth and translucent on the outside, and painted on the outside. Only the top plank is shiny on the inside. As for the outward side, they can't see it from this angle.

Xue Xiaolian bowed her jaw and said, "Yes, this is the opposite." ”

"The walls above don't seem to be the same as the rest of the place." Yi Xin added.

She was talking about the wall above the wardrobe, a right-angled area between the ceiling and the wall, the whole color was different from the surroundings, and if you had good eyesight, you could see the neat black lines there.

Cao Yunfan somewhat admired the carefulness and sensitivity of the two.

"These should all open." Xue Xiaolian said.

Cao Yunfan followed Xue Xiaolian's instructions and propped his hands on the wooden board. With just a slight effort, he propped up the plank.

The board was not nailed to the wardrobe.

Cao Yunfan took the wooden board in surprise and flipped through it casually, and saw that there were notches on the rough side of the board, and the content was not words or numbers, but counting bars.

Four vertical lines are drawn to represent "5".

There are a total of one and a half such marks on the board, and the total is "7".

"It looks like a foreigner." Xue Xiaolian's attention seemed to be a little biased.

After Cao Yunfan saw these symbols clearly, he couldn't help but think of the photos and drawings in the corridor, and gasped.

"That's killing seven people, right?" Cao Yunfan was shocked.

It's just a very simple association.

"Let's put it aside. The next step should be to go up. Xue Xiaolian said.

Cao Yunfan suddenly put down the wooden plank, dismantled the clothes pole in the wardrobe, stepped into the wardrobe, and reached out to touch the wall above the wardrobe.

The wall can be opened. Connected to the ceiling, this area is easily pushed open, like a lid, and when opened, you can see the light behind the wall and the small space.

"It's a hallway, with doors on both sides and a switch. Well...... It doesn't seem easy to flip over. Cao Yunfan assessed it, made a judgment, and turned his head to look at the two women next to the closet.

Yi Xin tilted his head and looked at him.

Xue Xiaolian had already found her target and moved the bedside table that did not have a photo.

With footsteps, circumventing the wall becomes a lot easier.

From this height, the height of the wardrobe, the secret door, and the bedside table are all calculated. Except for adults like Yi Xin, who are really too petite, adults who can reach average height can easily climb over the wall.

Cao Yunfan didn't think much about it, took the lead, stepped on the bedside table, and wanted to turn it over.

As he moved, he said, "You shouldn't have to come here, you should be able to open the door from that side." ”

The eye-catching switch is clearly a hint.

"Okay." Yi Xin agreed.

After raising it, Cao Yunfan looked down and saw the ladder frame on the wall.

Cao Yunfan flexibly climbed over the wall, and in his heart he complained that the channel setting of this game was a little difficult for players. Fortunately, he usually likes to play football and exercises regularly, which is not difficult for him. If it were someone else, such as Li Yun, who was not very active, I am afraid that he would be stuck here.

Cao Yunfan got off the ladder, landed on his feet, and walked to the switch.

As he expected, when the switch was pressed, he heard the mechanism ring. The wall that connected to the next bedroom shook and moved away, leaving the hallway and room identical.

The passage is not too long, and it is not very wide. After all, there was a wardrobe on the other side of the wall, and the wall was moved halfway, and the wardrobe stopped after it hit the wall at the end.

"Wow." Cao Yunfan exclaimed.

This is another big deal.

He looked around the room before, and he didn't notice that there were strange gaps in the floor, ceiling, and right angles of the room.

Seeing this amazing scene now, Cao Yunfan was a little shocked.

"It's pretty hidden." Cao Yunfan said to the three people in the room.

Yi Xin and Xue Xiaolian nodded.

After Xue Xiaolian entered the corridor, she looked left and right, and when she saw the ladder frame, she said, "There are a lot of details in this room. Ladders and switches don't look like they're made at the same time. The same goes for the passage above. ”

As soon as Xue Xiaolian said this, Cao Yunfan saw the trick.

The switch looks old, but the ladder frame is new; The hallway looked old, and the bedroom they could still see looked new.

If it weren't for the damage to the original ladder frame and bedroom, or the store rebuilt a new one, it must have been done on purpose.

"Probably because there were at least two owners. The serial killer, later Takeda, may have done a different renovation of the house. Xue Xiaolian said her reasoning together, "This kind of moving wall and secret passage should be done by a serial killer. ”

Cao Yunfan nodded in agreement.

He suddenly found that Xue Xiaolian seemed to have adapted to the secret room game, and she was now more observant and inferent than she was as simple as she was at the beginning.

Cao Yunfan thinks that such a game partner is also quite good. Although Xue Xiaolian has words that make people play from time to time, her carefulness and intelligence have made many details in the game excavate. This is also one of the fun aspects of the game. Just like the collection tasks and all the achievements in many story games, many players want to brush the game and brush out such achievements to get a sense of satisfaction.

Xue Xiaolian's expression was faint, and she didn't seem to be immersed in the atmosphere of the game.

She glanced at the switch a few times, as if estimating the distance in her heart, and said, "Actually, it should be okay without going over the wall." With the pole in that closet, you should be able to hit the switch. ”

After talking about her discovery, she looked at the two doors on the left and right and asked for everyone's opinions.

Cao Yunfan was stunned, feeling that what Xue Xiaolian said was not unreasonable. In the end, this kind of thing is a bit of a test of the player's skills. It's a lot easier to just stand on a chair and poke the switch with a long lever. As long as the hands are long enough, this is a thing that takes some time, and it is safer than climbing over the wall.

After Cao Yunfan thought about this, he saw that no one else spoke, and no one had an idea, so he no longer thought about the previous level problem, and chose the door on his left, "Any one can be." ”

He walked to the door, and when his hand touched the doorknob, he felt a chill chill in his hand.

Li Yun's face changed, and he hurried a few steps.

He slowed down.

I saw Xue Xiaolian directly reach out and clasp Cao Yunfan's wrist, and naturally pulled Cao Yunfan's hand away.

Cao Yunfan shivered as if he woke up at this time, and shook his hand vigorously.

"Shhh As he spoke, he stretched his sleeves and looked like he wanted to wrap his hands in his coat and tried to open the door again.

Xue Xiaolian took another step faster, directly holding the doorknob, and while opening the door, she also took a step across, blocking Cao Yunfan's sight.
